A pizza shop in Fairmont is staying true to its roots.

"Italian food is in the family name," said Jason Cantoni, Co-Owner of Cantoni's Pizza.

That family name is Cantoni's. Open for seven years in Fairmont, the family has also owned locations in Morgantown and Columbus, Ohio. Now just focusing on their shop on Fairmont Avenue, Cantoni said they are priding themselves on authentic Italian flavor, right down to their sauce.

"The recipe comes from Brescia, Italy and that's where my family is from. So that's where it all originated," he said.

It makes sense that customers come for their signature item.

"The most popular is obviously the pizzas," Cantoni said.

Whether it's pepperoni and fresh, local vegetables or a variety of their white pizza, the model is the same.
